It's more macho to suck it up, contaminate guys in close quarters in racks on a ship or in bunkers. If it spreads, it spreads, but I am giving you the freedom to decide. It's about you, not the team around you Freedom! We will never be woke Warriors under my command! What a f*cking irresponsible idiot Kegsbreath is.
He's an arrogant "racist" and "bigot" performer. When 60% of the military purges have been black or women, and the majority of the military were white men to begin with, his actions speak for themselves.
Right, which is why there are some distinctions drawn historically between being a member of the German military or command and being a member of the German military and also being a member of the Nazi Party. Historically speaking soldiers and even those in position of command in a military were largely apolitical and served for whomever was the political ruler of the state. Maybe we can ethically try to draw a line -- and in actual battle some lines have been drawn, but states have gone out of their way to prevent half the military from walking away when there is a regime change.
I wouldn't call it terrified. I think he just has absolutely no respect for either. He is a narcissistic male cheavanistic pig and racist, who thinks he is smarter and more capable than them.
When they write books about the fall of America a hallmark part will be renaming the Dept of Defense to the Dept of War. When we gave up on even the illusion of defending democracy like we did when we were actually great, to the extent we ever were. If not great, it was us at our best. My adoptive grandfather whose last name is the name of my firm and the name I’ve been called my whole life, lied about his age to go serve in the Pacific. That’s ****ing great. I wish that’s what they meant when they said make it great again…but it’s mostly about making sure women know their place and black folx sit at the back of the bus again. **** that noise. The people who scream that **** want to be served…not serve. Please vote
“The sooner we have the right people, the sooner we can advance the right policies.” Words of a racist bigot who got his job not from experience, not from years of leading commands in the military, but simply for being a die hard Trump butt kissing loyalist Fox News commentator who will lie for him, while rewarding the willing to abide by the rules of their partisan regime, and firing folks they dislike. Trump probably finds him handsome too, and thinks looks good in his eyes on tv. The bonus is they have a lot in common to talk about in their "locker room chat" about cheating on their wives and their sexual abuse of women.
Pete Hegseth is such a racist and bigot. Between his purges of blacks and women, his idea of warrior ethos is just an opinion from a white guy who never commanded a large battalion himself. Not sporting a beard didn't make him a General, a better leader, or a more competent soldier, and neither did his skin color. But, it got him the top job from a like-minded narcissistic racist who thinks looks, skin color, and Trump loyalty over all else are the highest qualities a military leader should have. Hegseth ramps up discrimination in the Navy Currently, the Navy issues permanent shaving waivers to members with certain skin conditions caused by shaving, especially a condition known as pseudofolliculitis barbae, commonly known as razor bumps. This is a condition that disproportionately affects the Black population, with studies estimating that between 45% and 83% of Black men suffer from it. But Hegseth’s new rule would allow the dismissal of service members who continue to show signs of the affliction after a year of medical treatment. In a letter to Hegseth last October, a group of over 40 Democratic representatives slammed the change in policy. “Punishing troops for this condition that is beyond their control is not necessary for the effectiveness of the military, but it certainly undermines equity and fairness by creating a policy that disparately impacts minority service members,” they wrote. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2026/7/10/800067803/news/hegseth-razor-bumps-navy-ban-black-men/
Seems like it should be an Onion article. Let's make all our soldiers as angry, emotionaly driven and rage-filled as possible. I'm sure it will only get directed at approved enemy targets. If the entire military would only act like 18 year old boys, nobody could stop us! [The Hill] Hegseth announces annual testosterone screenings for service members Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday announced a new effort to annually screen service members’ testosterone levels and offer testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), framing it as a way to keep troops on the “leading edge of lethality.”
So wait, the people that went apeshit about getting a simple Covid vaccine to slow the spread of the virus and keep people from, like, dying, have now decided that if your testosterone is low, you can accept TRT, or GTFO out of the military?
It does sound like an Onion article. His video is titled The High T Department of War. Led by the Not Highly Qualified but Egotistical Secretary of Defense.
